They don't, say, abduct the President, his staff, or astronauts and scientists very often -- they seem more to abduct people that are desperate for seeming special in their otherwise average everyday lives.

3) Why do aliens mutilate cattle anyways? They came several light years and visit our planet, to use their rayguns on cows?

Stephen Hawkins just uses fewer words than I do.
This seems to be true in many cases... BUT

what about all the military personnel and even astronauts and pilots who claim to have seen them? Not to mention police officers and the like? As a matter of fact, there's a large group of pilots who are demanding release of information concerning objects they've seen and if you look at the Disclosure Project, there's a large quantity of trained personnel in there. Not saying the ETH hypothesis is valid, but the idea that all the people who claim to have seen UFOs are whacked and crackpots is ridiculous and just a copout by Hawkins. He is a genius, but it doesnt mean he isnt prone to bad judgment or ignorance.
